The Pretérito Perfeito Simples (Regular Verbs)
In Portuguese, the pretérito perfeito simples is the main past tense for completed actions. It works like the English simple past.
How to form it
Regular verbs follow predictable patterns based on their ending:
- -ar verbs (falar): falei, falaste, falou, falámos, falaram
- -er verbs (comer): comi, comeste, comeu, comemos, comeram
- -ir verbs (dormir): dormi, dormiste, dormiu, dormimos, dormiram
Example: "Ontem eu trabalhei o dia todo." — Yesterday I worked all day.
Example: "Ela comeu pizza ao jantar." — She ate pizza for dinner.
Time expressions
- Ontem — yesterday
- Na semana passada — last week
- Anteontem — the day before yesterday
These time markers tell your listener you are talking about a finished past event.

Veelgemaakte fouten
Eu comer pizza ontem.Eu comi pizza ontem.Use the conjugated past form comi, not the infinitive comer
Ela falou eu ontem.Ela falou comigo ontem.Use comigo (with me), not eu after a verb
Ontem eu trabalhou.Ontem eu trabalhei.Trabalhou is third person — use trabalhei for eu
Eu dormi na semana passado.Eu dormi na semana passada.Semana is feminine, so the adjective must be passada, not passado
Eu limpou a casa.Eu limpei a casa.Limpou is third person — use limpei for eu
